I've been replaying through a lot of the series and in some of the newer games they added in chests that hold maps of the area. I feel like these are completely unnecessary since most of the time you get them towards the beginning of the world and often times I don't even notice whether I have it or not so it overall just seems like we could go without the finding a large chest and getting excited only to find a map that would be more appreciated from the beginning. What do you guys think about the maps in the chests that have become common in the series?

i mean if they can be more useful then yes i don't see why not. 

 

maps in KH2 were very pointless because it was impossible to get lost in any of the rooms you went through. 

In KH2 they are almost pointless yeah, but when you have bigger maps like in KH3D they can really come in handy. And since KH3 will have big maps... It would be stupid to remove them now.

ooh a huge chest I wonder what big surprises are in there! Maybe a new keyblade?

 

Nevermind it's another firetrucking map that I didn't need.

The maps in KH3 are definitely going to be needed, for the simple fact that the worlds are going to be bigger and there will be a lot of branching areas and if Dream Drop Distance and 0.2 have shown, they're going to have a lot of stuff you need to look for, like portals for challenges.

Yes because even though it be open world, you still have to know where to go.

Good question & to be honest i would have to say yes because 1st of all you might get lost you might not know where to go or which way to go & yes i know some people have to backtracking & some people don't have to & some people won't backtrack & 2ndly if you have to complete map of that certain world or location you can look at the map or scan the area & see if there is a place you need to look or to find depends on the situations you're in .

Yes but under certain conditions. My problem is that I tend to always look on the mini map ind games and dont look at the nice environment at all, but a map is always useful so I would like it if there is a map but I have to go to the menü or something to open it.

In a way i have to agreed with you there i agree with you completely & understand what you mean when you said I would like it if there is a map but I have to go to the menü or something to open it .

and that is why literally every open world game has maps, just try to tell me about at least one open world game without a map or any kind of GPS like system
